Patent NZ-598207-A (NZ)
Title: Wave energy conversion apparatus and method
Inventor: CROWLEY MICHAEL
IPC: F03B13/18
Filed: 2010-07-22
Abstract: 598207 Disclosed is a wave energy conversion apparatus for generating electricity from ocean wave motion. The apparatus comprises a mechanical element, in the form of an upstanding flap (5), which is hingedly anchored to the sea bed. The upstanding flap moves repeatedly in cycle in response to wave motion. The motion of the upstanding flap is used to drive a power extraction means which comprises a fluid pressurisation system, in the form of a piston (4) and cylinder (8) connected in fluid communication with a system of one-way valves (16, 18, 20, 22). Fluid in the fluid pressurization system is pressurized in response to motion of the piston in either direction. The pressurised fluid then travels out of the fluid pressurisation system via a fluid conduit to a turbine (see Pelton wheel 28), while simultaneously drawing fluid into the fluid pressurisation system. The pressurised fluid drives the turbine which drives an electrical generator (34). Fluid accumulators (7, 9) are located upstream of the one way valves to assist the movement of the upstanding flap during the parts of the wave cycle when the upstanding flap is substantially stationary at each end of its range of movement, which enables the upstanding flap to build up some speed at the end of each cycle, thereby reducing the possibility of the system stalling. The working fluid is seawater, which is drawn into and pumped out of the hydraulic system, via the turbine, in an open circuit.
